The Line Maker

Lines to Draw Upon During Times of Change

When Rick's life begins to unravel, he encounters a mysterious guide- with a canvas, a question, and a challenge he didn't see coming. What follows is a journey into the unexpected-where the simplest of shapes, a line, becomes a path to rediscover purpose, identity, and the power to turn change into choice. The Line Maker is a modern parable for anyone standing at a crossroads- whether you're leading yourself or others through a period of change. With vivid storytelling and unforgettable metaphors, it invites you to reflect, reframe, and redesign the life you're creating-one line at a time. Along the way, you'll encounter the lines that define every masterpiece- lines of intention, interpretation, and impact, each with the power to transform. If you're ready to stop drifting and start designing, this story offers more than insight. It offers a new way to live, lead and love-with intention, no excuses.

"As a professional artist with over thirty years of experience, I've learned that dreams rarely come easily-but unwavering commitment, determination and perseverance can turn ambition into reality. The Line Maker illustrates that every small, intentional line becomes part of a greater masterpiece-the art of life and leadership itself. Never shackle your own feet. Never stop reaching for what seems impossible."

"There's an art to winning. As an NFL quarterback, I've lived at the line of scrimmage-where expectation meets resistance and nothing moves unless you do. The Line Maker shows what it really takes to drive toward the goal line of success: intention, execution, and the vision to find opportunity when others swear it isn't there."
